Testimonials:

 

"He is essentially every student’s hero and role model for his caring attitude and smile each day. In my view, I have not worked with anyone better than Jacob Weaver. He has the experience, enthusiasm, commitment to student achievement and the savvy to be successful in any administrative capacity."

     - Westley Ivankovich 

       Director of Operations and Residential Life                                Roosevelt International Academy (RIA)

 

 

"This young man is not a typical candidate- he has exceptional professional bearing and passion which puts him in a distinctly different class. He is at the top of the list in our faculty’s minds for awards within our department. He is a rare candidate with tremendous passion and the talent to back it up. You would be remiss in not hiring him."

     - Dr. Eric Malmberg, Ed. D

       Professor and APEM Supervisor 

       State University of New York (SUNY) Cortland

 

                     

"One incredible illustration of the person Jake Weaver is revolves around seeking, and ultimately getting the chance to meet the man who shot him. It is remarkable how open and honest he is. For him to meet and forgive the person that shot him is not an athlete or basketball coach, it is about being the best human being you can be. The beauty of Jake Weaver is he is always thinking of others before himself. He is always optimistic and looks at the good in any situation" 

     - Mr. David Doemel

       Guidance Administrator/Head Varsity Basketball Coach

       Christian Brothers Academy (CBA)

 

                                                  ​​​
